Anatomy Ch 6 test review Flashcards
combo of all but rotation, common in ball-in-socket, proximal end of limb is stationary and its distal end is moves in a circle, limb as whole outlines a cone
EX: shoulder
circumduction
opposite of abduction, limb toward the body midline
EX: lower arm movement
adduction
opposite of adduction, moving a limb away (generally on the frontal plane) from midline, median place
EX: lower arm movement
abduction
is movement of a bone around its longitudinal axis
EX: movement of head
rotation
movement that increased the angle of the joint
EX: straginthing fixed knee, movement of head
extension
movement of foot, standing on heel
dorsiflexion
movement of foot, pointing toes
planter flexion
invert foot, turn the sole medially
inversion
evert the foot, turn the sole laterally
eversion
turning backward, ulna and radius are straight, thumb up
supination
turning forward, radius crosses over ulna, thumb down
pronation
move thumb to touch all fingers on same hand
opposition
same tone/ tension, muscle shorten –> movement occurs, normal
isotonic contraction
same measurement/ lengthen, muscle try to slide, but something immovable does not allow this EX: a single person trying to move a 400 pound dresser by themselves
isometric contractions
sustained partial contraction of a muscle in response to stretch to receptor inputs; keeps the muscle healthy and ready to react
muscle tone
ability to recoil and resume their resting length after being stretched
elasticity
the ability of a muscle to be stretched
extensibility
excitability/ sponsitivness, the ability to receive and respond to a stimulus
irritability
